The Escondido Union School District (EUSD) encourages you to become a partner in the education of your child through important opportunities for input, interaction, and involvement. The following opportunities are available to parents, guardians, and other significant family members:

NEW: Watch videos in the Family and Community Engagement Online Learning Series

We will release a new video six times during the 2019-2020 school year, in both English and Spanish, providing you with important information on how to support your student’s success in school. You can access these videos from a computer, tablet, or phone. To view the online learning series, go to the Video Learning Series.

Contact your Family Liaison

Every EUSD school has a Family Liaison who can help you build partnerships with school staff by coordinating comprehensive family engagement programs. If you have any questions regarding either district-wide or school-specific programs, please contact your school’s Family Liaison.

Participate in family activities at every school

COFFEE WITH THE PRINCIPAL

Dialogue with principals, assistant principals, and/or staff members in an informal setting about issues specific to your child’s school.

CURRICULUM-BASED FAMILY EVENTS

You are invited to attend hands-on learning events at your child’s school. Activities at family events are based on the California State Standards.

FAMILY DAYS AT LUNCH AND LEARN

You are encouraged to attend lunch at school with your child at least once a year. During these planned events at the school sites, you will have the opportunity to learn relevant information needed to support your child’s success in their current grade level, enjoy special time with your child, access school and community resources, and taste food from the EUSD Nutrition Services Department.

FAMILY WORKSHOPS

Family workshops provide you with opportunities to learn information and skills to support your child’s academic and personal success. EUSD schools offer a variety of workshops, parenting classes, and customized trainings covering a range of topics throughout the year.

During the 2019-2020 school year, English as a Second Language (ESL) Classes will be held three days a week for 2.5 hours a day at Conway, Farr Avenue, Felicita, Juniper, and Oak Hill Elementary Schools. ESL classes are open to all EUSD family members. Please go to the Family Engagement Calendar for specific Family Workshop times and locations.

You are welcome to serve as a leader and decision maker at all of our EUSD schools through participation in your school’s Parent Teacher Association (PTA), School Site Council, and/or English Language Advisory Council (ELAC).
